Rediscovering "Saint Cecilia accompanied by three musical angels" by the painter Arnould de Vuez (1644-1720), is to discover the amazing tradition that attributes to a 2nd century Roman martyr the patronage of musicians, but it is also to consider music in the light of the great masters of drawing and color that are Raphael and baroque painters, inventors of the most elusive state that is in the arts: ecstasy!
